What was it?
Oh, that’s so kind of you to notice – yes, I
did get my hair done for the big revolution!
o Scientific Revolution:
Exciting time period
(1500s - 1700s) in
Europe when people
began to change the
way they thought about
the world
Scientific Revolution:
________________________________________________________
What was the old way of thinking?
Before the Scientific Revolution, scientific
thinking is based mostly on…
- The Bible
- Aristotle
Scientific Revolution:
________________________________________________________
What was the old way of thinking?
The earth is
the center of
the universe!
And nobody questioned him for 2,000 years.
Scientific Revolution:
________________________________________________________
Earth is the center of the universe?
Yep, that
looks about
right!
Scientific Revolution:
________________________________________________________
Why did thinking change?
2,000 years is a loooong time. Why do people
start to think differently?
Increased contact with Jews and Muslims
exposed Europeans to new ideas
And what’s that called???
CULTURAL DIFFUSION!
Scientific Revolution:
________________________________________________________
Changes in Europe:
o Europeans realized
that they were wrong
about some things
o Example: They had
believed that there
were only three
continents, but
explorers had now
“discovered” more
They found
MORE?!?! But I
was just about
finished!
Scientific Revolution:
________________________________________________________
What was the new way of thinking?
o People began to use reason and logic (not
just faith) to explain the world
o Science changed from what people
thought to what people observed
Scientific Revolution:
________________________________________________________
Tension between religion and science:
oSome scientific conclusions questioned
the beliefs of the church and what is
written in the Bible
oMany scientists, however, were religious and
saw science as a way of better understanding
God’s world
So who were these new-think’n sci-guys?
Scientific Revolution:

So, who’s throwing all these ca-razay
new ideas around, anyway?

Use the station readings posted

handout. You’ll have about 5
minutes for each station!
I’ll be stamping these as part of your
classwork so please…

So now there are all kinds of new ideas floating
around Europe. Some of them probably sound
pretty crazy at first, but what would you do if
more and more people you trusted started to
believe those “crazy” ideas?
Rabble,

I dunno, maybe he’s got a
